This is brilliant to see - great collaboration and more exciting research using the fantastic resource that is the VIVObiobank which we co-fund with Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK

@CCLG_UK Today on #WorldBloodCancerDay, @CCLG_UK hv announced that 2 of their Special Named Funds #AGoalForSam & #TeamKai in collaboration with VIVObiobank hv supported new #research into #AML, that could identify better ways to attack childhood AML cells: bit.ly/3UPtGkS

Data has the potential to answer key questions in children and young people’s cancer, so great to see the outcomes of this forward-thinking grant round from Cancer Research UK and partners - data potentially a huge area and often difficult to find funding for. Looking forward to results!
